DETERMINATION. DESTINATION.

Over 40 years ago, Haeng Ung Lee drew a map on the earth at his feet. He said it was his destination to change the world one black belt at a time. After decades of hard work and determination, Eternal Grand Master did just that.

ATA creates not just great martial artists but outstanding human beings. At opening ceremonies of 2010 Songahm Taekwondo World Championships, four inspiring stories were revealed, each highlighting the influence of Songahm Taekwondo in the individual's life. We learned of the determination that drove them, and their destination of accomplishing feats both inside and outside the realm of martial arts.

Leadership NOW invites you to revisit their amazing stories and to share them with others who need inspiration to set a goal and work 'til it's done. Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee's words still ring true: "Today Not Possible, Tomorrow Possible." What is your Determination? What is your Destination?
